The staff were wonderful. We had planned to give Glow Worm Caves a miss even though we stayed at Waitomo, cos our little one was scared of caves and didn't wanna waste money. The front desk manager gave us directions to a bushwalk where you could see worms for free. It was one of the most exceptional sights we've seen!!

Stayed in the train and it was more spacious than original thought. LOVED the view from the windows. Kids loved the countryside. Beds were comfortable and the aircon was a plus. Super close to the caves.

Friendly, helpful welcome when checking in.😀Much appreciated! Everything was super clean in my room and the guest kitchen and lounge. Bed was very comfortable! Great shower. Generous continental breakfast included in price! Tea and coffee freely available. I loved the personal touches and attention to detail. Stylish but homely. Lovely outdoor space and good onsite parking.This place is an absolute gem. Perfect peaceful sanctuary to recharge and refresh after travelling from Auckland on route to New Plymouth. Strongly recommend a stopover here on way to New Plymouth especially as ongoing roadwork holdups can lengthen an already long drive from Auckland. I will be back for sure. Good value for money.

    Very unique location. We stayed in the Hobbiton cave unit. Beds are very comfortble, rooms are clean. If you want to experience something totally different from your 'standard' motel just do it!! If you are travelling with children they will totally love the unique room. (boat, airplane or hobbit cave)

    Novelty motel - we stayed in the Hobbit hole. Nice location. Easy walk to food and glow worm location (ticket purchase, not the actual cave location)

    The difference of the location, it is exciting to stay in a boat or airplane for the experience in comparison to just a standard motel room
